LAST MINUTE ADDITION TO THE LINE-UP!
I was checking the girls in the tent tonight before I make the flip to 12/12 tomorrow and, while everything is looking good, because I did that late replacement of the BAK with the White Widow, there was a little more open space than I would have liked and could see my total yield would be far short of the potential.
So, I figured I'd throw the Blackwater in there to get an early sample of her buds and make the White Widow feel better now that it's not the smallest plant in the tent!
She's in a SIP that's maybe a little bigger than a #3, but being transplanted from a 4" container, she should have plenty of room to flower. I don't expect much from her, but whatever it is, it will be more than I would have gotten without her.
Plus, if the quality isn't HIGH enough, I can skip it on the next run and go for one of the IHG strains, instead.
It's a little ironic that the whole "mystique" behind the Blackwater was an attempt to create the darkest blue OG strain, but most of the grow pics I've seen show green buds! Usually I'm not a big fan of the purple buds, anyway, which tend to be more for bag appeal, IMHO, but if you're deliberately creating a strain to express the purp's, you'd think you'd lock-in the trait before you started selling the seeds! That being said, it did take a 3rd place in the 2014 LA Cannabis Cub for Indica strains, so hopefully, she'll be potent either way.
Here's the pic of her in her new home - won't she be surprised when she only gets 12 hours of daytime tomorrow!
Happy Harvests!
